Replying to michael:
Could you please provide more details? I was unable to reproduce this.
Example: ( numbers selected so they are ridiculous ) VBoxManage -nologo setextradata xubu_phys CustomVideoMode1 603x497x16
VBoxManage -nologo getextradata xubu_phys CustomVideoMode1
Value: 603x497x16
Now boot linux with kernel params
vga=864 text
added to the normal line and see what happens And this is on an OS X 10.5 host if that matters. It happened with bot kubuntu and xubuntu

Fixed in the development version, as per your suggestion. The X value is now rounded up to a multiple of eight. Changing the Y value was not necessary.
